SYMPTOMS
========

While attempting to use the Novell Attach command to attach to a Novell server,
you may not be able to un-map any drives or detach from the Novell server.

Novell's Attach command is not supported in Windows NT. Microsoft recommends
making connections to Novell servers in File Manager or use the NET.EXE utility
in Windows NT.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT Workstation and
Server versions 3.5, 3.51, and 4.0. We are researching this problem and will
post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes
